The Government of Canada announces the launch of TechWomen Canada 3.0!
November 1 & 2, 2018
TechWomen Canada Los Angeles Program was first launched in 2016, and is now its in 3rd iteration! It is a one-of-a-kind experience for Canadian women entrepreneurs seeking exposure to the dynamic business culture of Southern California to fast-track their international business expansion. The 2-day program is comprised of thought leadership and panel discussions from industry experts, one-on-one mentoring by accomplished executives, networking opportunities with investors and corporate players and B2B meetings with targeted buyers. This year they have also partnered with The Wrap’s Power Women Summit, providing this year’s cohort with access to Summit’s programming, including keynote speakers and mentorship sessions from female leadership across the entertainment and tech sectors, as well as networking with the 1000+ attendees of the conference.
What have their past cohorts had to say?
“The program gave us the market exposure necessary to understand the local market and help potential partners to learn about us.”
“The organization was superb, and the attention to detail and treatment of the delegates was exceptional.”
The 2018 program is about to kick-off!
This year’s partnership with The Wrap and conference participation is designed to fuel international growth by supporting Canadian business women in the technology sector with:
- 1:1 Strategic Mentorship
- Targeted Business Development (B2B)
- Panel Discussions
- Networking Opportunities
- Branding, Positioning & Exposure
The 2018 TechWomen Canada program is free but highly competitive – they are looking for women in senior leadership roles at technology firms who have demonstrated a track record of achievement and companies that have an established product line with growth potential in the US market. *Selection will be undertaken by a panel of industry experts.*
